Condition & Value Assessment
Condition Grade
Good (G 2)
Estimated Market Value
Raw: $0.10 - $0.50; Graded (PSA 10): $40 - $60
Recent Sales
Recent sales for raw copies in average condition are typically part of bulk lots or $0.25 bin items. High-grade PSA 10 copies occasionally reach $50, but low-grade copies have negligible market value.
Condition Details
Severe corner damage visible on the top right corner with significant paper loss/peeling. Soft corners throughout. Heavy centering shift toward the right border. Surface appears to have minor scuffs.
Grading Recommendation
Not recommended for grading. The card has significant physical damage (corner peeling) and poor centering, which would result in a very low technical grade. The cost of grading exceeds the value of the card.
Card Description
Don Mattingly is shown in a New York Yankees away uniform, mid-swing. The design features a purple inner border, 'YANKEES' in red block letters at the bottom, and his name in a yellow diagonal banner at the top left.
Notable Features
Features the iconic 1988 Topps design; Mattingly was one of the premier first basemen of the era ('Donnie Baseball').
Authentication Notes
Authentic 1988 Topps card stock. No signs of counterfeiting; this is a high-print-volume base card from the 'junk wax' era.
